so i’ve gone night shooting twice … it really has made somethings click about shooting manual. Maybe because i’m less mobile being tethered to the tripod and have the time to set up and go through settings … i’ve been happily surprised with some of the results but realize i have so much still to learn – even to what i consider a good exposure — 2 locations – down by the wortham theatre and buffalo bayou and the museum district by mecom fountain. Also had the opportunity through the assignment houston group to have after hours access to the museum of natural sciences, how cool is that!. though not technically a “night shot” i was able to go through alot of the same principals since i was again – with tripod.

Excellent shot! I am impressed with these. Really like the first one.

I have found that I finally understand the relationship between shutter speed and aperture while doing night shooting. Unfortunately I am just guessing about how I should use the numbers and everything I learned dribbles out my brain the next morning. But it is certainly a lot of fun and I think if I keep doing it one day, maybe one day, I’ll actually remember something!
I really love that top photo. I need to go for some night shooting down there.

I do love these night shots! I agree manual shots might have you tethered to a tripod but those shots have so much clarity in them. Totally enjoying your work here! Nice job. As I said, these make me miss Houston & I haven’t lived there for many years. Big cities have big night time sights!
